Chapter 19
It’s Better to Bring an Extra Person This Time

“The rock monster, Gakuuma, eats stones.” The staff officer sighed as he read the information about Gakuuma’s habits.

He probably already knew why there had been monsters on Kura Island for a long time but hadn’t made any moves until recently, only to suddenly reappear.

“This is why I called you to the meeting room in the middle of the night. The reason why the two Gakuumas on Kura Island are active is most likely due to the excessive mining of the island's minerals.”

Zewei looked at the two of them and said, “So we need to come up with a win-win solution as soon as possible before there are casualties.”

As a pacifist, he would prefer to use as gentle methods as possible whenever there is room for maneuver.

Especially since there were two Gakuumas. According to the information provided by Dr. Jianghe, even if Victory Team and the Earth’s existing forces could handle one, they might not be able to handle two.

They could only rely on the power of the two giants.

This was also an opportunity for TPC, the Earth Defense Peace Alliance, to show their sincerity and attitude to Saiya and Tiga, the two giants.

These two Gakuumas were different from the previous aliens like Kirieloid.

........

In the small villa.

Jianghe looked at today's newspaper and suddenly found a new and interesting headline and content.

TPC to establish a Monster Research Center on Kura Island and evacuate island residents.

“Monster Research Center, these people really know how to find excuses.” Jianghe’s expression was strange.

He could see that TPC's intention to set up a Monster Research Center was simply an excuse to evacuate the island's residents.

However, the plans for this Monster Research Center are actually quite comprehensive.

Not only can it provide a living environment for the two Gakuumas, remove the mining company that was mining stones on the island, but also actually study the habits and other aspects of the monsters.

In the future, if they publish some data and prevention methods, it may further reduce the public's excessive fear of monsters and achieve the goal of calming the public.

“Sure enough, there are talented people in TPC.” Jianghe shook his head and took a sip of red tea with a satisfied smile.

He didn't even have the thought of collecting the genetic factors of the two Gakuumas and replicating two Monster Cards.

It was simply because these two Gakuumas were too weak for him, and the skills they possessed were not very useful. The most threatening Petrifying Beam could be broken by others with their strength.

Now that TPC has a plan in place, he won't bother with it anymore.

He continued reading the newspaper.

A small article on the front page suddenly caught Jianghe's attention: “The Space Development Bureau issued a statement saying that the Jipta Three, a space probe heading to Jupiter, has gone missing, and the fate of the three astronauts is unknown.”

“The combined monster, Ligadron is going to appear.” Jianghe put down his teacup and pondered.

If he remembers correctly, these three astronauts should have been turned into light and become part of the combined monster, Ligadron, right?

However, this Ligadron is a formidable force, worth replicating.

......

Two or three days later, in the command room of TPC’s Victory Team base.

Captain Jujo Hikari sat with a headache in her captain's chair, pondering the events that had just taken place with Lina and the others.

Just half an hour ago, a steel monster fell from the sky near the Space Development Bureau, and after absorbing the energy storage tanks that the Space Development Bureau had been preparing for years, it flew away again, leaving no trace.

Victory Team dispatched two Victory Falcon fighter jets with modified weapons, but it was useless, only a few fragments were knocked off.

And even the DSC defense system set up by the Space Development Bureau near the energy storage tank was easily cracked by the enemy.

“How did this monster crack the DSC system? According to inquiries to the Space Development Bureau, logically, only the Space Development Bureau doctor who developed the defense system would be able to do that.” Horii asked in confusion.

This Space Development Bureau doctor who developed the defense system was one of the three astronauts of the missing Jipta Three.

Not only him, but everyone else was equally baffled.

“Let’s wait until we get the analysis results of the small piece of debris that fell from the monster before discussing it further.” Jujo Hikari sighed.

That guy was right, just two or three days later, another monster appeared.

And this time it was a monster that fell from the sky.

Now, besides the Space Development Bureau doctor, the only clues and leads they could get were that piece of debris.

“We have some results.”

At this moment, the door to the command room suddenly opened.

A woman in a white lab coat walked into the command room and carefully placed the fragment in the middle.

“According to the analysis, we found that this fragment... contains components of the Jipta Three's outer shell!” Murakami Reiko looked at Jujo Hikari and the others with hesitation.

“In other words, the three astronauts were probably attacked by a monster in space, and they...” Shinjo's expression was gloomy, and he immediately guessed the outcome of these three astronauts.

“At this point, we should ask Daoist Jianghe if he has any information about this monster.” Daigo suggested.

“That’s all we can do.” Jujo Hikari nodded and looked at the fragment on the table.

But thinking back to the recent “accidental” handshake, she felt it was better to bring one more person...
